Let's create a new generation of educated reptile keepers & animal enthusiasts by spreading the love!
So impressed with Sophia!! She's a sponge soaking up all the knowledge that she can. She's going to take the Kamp over one day. I am sure you and Kate are very proud of her!!
And the great And arguably rare opportunities she has to learn from the unique knowledgeable people Kenan knows.
Like it's funny if you ever listen to Brian Barczyk, he talks a lot about the reptile OG's of the past. But I think it's safe to say that there are several people that either have risen or are rising up to become future reptile OG's.
And while he might not admit it, Kenan is one of those people and is at the heart with all the other folks making big impacts.
Yes, I feel like Sophia will be like Fred's Granddaughter...I'm sure Leo will do great things in life too, this just isn't his thing.
I have learned so much here & absolutely love the Kamp. I love all animals & I'm glad there are people doing conservation. Thanks for all you do to educate people. Ity is much appreciated. ❤INDIANA loves y'all
@@tracyshelley4359 I feel the same!
Where's is the dog where's labo
@@dannyovalle1494 he is on a training mission
Sophia is such a lucky girl to have the opportunity to learn and live with so many animals and of course the wildest animal of them all... Kenan !!
She is lucky to be living the life I only dreamed of at her age. Early impressions stay with a person for life. As a kid most of my same-age, female cousins showed less than the least-bit interest in herps (at best) and occasionally displayed abject horror. Always amazed me how a tiny hatchling turtle could invoke such fear in someone! It’s usually (not always) boys who are into collecting “critters” though early conditioning plays a huge role.
I'm only a few minutes into this video and had to express my excitement that Sophia is becoming more pro active with the animals and is having fun with it....shes really lucky to have you to share all this with her......I predict that she's going to become an important part of the Kamp
As a fish keeper myself I know Those neons are gana be a nice snack for those Oscar’s 😂 and those convicts are one of the most prolific breading fish so that pond will be full of them in no time
Yeah I would of left the Oscar’s out 🤐
I was thinking the exact same. The lady at the store looks like a nice person but her expertise seems to lay in a different part of fish keeping. Very poor choice of fish, as you mentioned the neons will become an expensive snack in no time, the convicts will overtake in less than 2 years, he will start using them as feeder instead of tilapia. Even if the neons wouldn't be eaten I doubt that they will survive the winter, I know the ponds are heated but neons are highly tropical (Oscars probably won't survive many winters either) . Should've gone with subtropical tetras like Buenos Aires Tetra (Hyphessobrycon anisitsi) or Blood Fin Tetra (Aphyocharax anisitsi) and for cichlids some Gymnogeophagus species....
Sophia, you are doing great.
It's fun seeing you grow into a advocate for animals!
Kenan, you have quite the apprentice there!
Kenan is an awesome dad! I had to learn all about animals on my own, would’ve loved to have a mentor like that growing up
It’s great that Kenan’s dad introduced him to what has become both his passion & livelihood in life. Luckily I had an older brother who sparked my interest in virtually every aspect of nature starting with herps. Over the years & through experience one can amass a huge body of knowledge. Kenan’s channel is unique in that he enjoys sharing & educating viewers with virtually no ego, theatrics or drama apparent on certain other YT channels. Members of my dad’s family (aunts & uncles) lived not far from his on Eastern Long Island. I spent many childhood summers in Suffolk Co., therefore I feel a certain kinship exists. At an early age I was also tramping through the woods, ponds, swamps, estuaries, shoreline, etc. bringing home every manner of reptile/amphibian/insect/crustacean (aka; “creature”) often covered in mud/burrs and occasionally to the dismay of other family members. Ah, childhood memories; nothing quite like “surprising” female cousins with a Hognose Snake at a family BBQ! lol. I never understood why they weren’t completely fascinated by the reptile’s defenses; it’s musking, cobra-like hooding/hissing and finally it’s “playing dead.” Even a tiny toadlet would send them running away in abject terror, often screaming hysterically. Meh, “girley-girls”... go figure.
Congratulations to Kenan on living his dream and his willingness to share it freely with others. Keep up the good work!
Not only is Sophia a great reptile caretaker, she's also becoming a great camera person! Her underwater shots were really awesome!
Paul is such a good dude. He brings such good vibes.
Sophia Rocks
Simply beautiful to see your family coming into your world.
Convicts are like aquatic rabbits... the gift that keeps on giving!!
Hay Kennan, just saying you will never know how much you helped me. I’m a long time watcher but health failing. Praying for miracle. Had to tell you your Chan is awesome. Keep it up. Never change. 😊😊
I love when you and Paul get together 😺
Most parents have to have a baby and cross their fingers In the hopes that they do well, you are so lucky to have been given a Sophia... She's a little ray of sunshine and brightens my day every time you have her in one of your videos
Thanks Kenan!
The fish are just bringing it all together.
I hope those last tiny ones breed too because when the sun hits them they're truly amazing!
Great camera work Sophia!
Paul you’re going to love Caiman creek
These videos bring me peace 🙏
I stay in South Africa, and boy, a visit to Kamp Kenan is on the bucket list for sure! I love your channel, and I am so happy that Sophia has the opportunity to learn and grow with you as well.
Thank you so much for the responsible care of your animals. Your videos are what the reptile community needs, to show the rest of the world what good, responsible, careful and safe care of animals is all about. No showboating, no “look how dangerous” I can make things. No clickbait. We need this now, more than ever, here in south Florida. I hope the other reptile keepers do the same on their channels!!🐊 🐟❤️
It's a dream of mind to have a pond like that with South American fish. So jealous!
Since your dad couldn't get a fish tank back in the day, you should surprise him with one. I Bet hed enjoy it.
Neons are beautiful in a large group, I have them in a fresh water tank 🐟!
I love neons. I've always kept them and they're even safe to keep with a male Beta.
Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures Kenan ! The Kamp does animal keeping right and it's cool to see Sophia taking initiative . Peace and blessings
How wonderful! Hopefully the tetras will breed. So nice to see Sophia taking so much of an interest. I’m sure as she grows she will become just as knowledgeable and kind as you are.
Unfortunately the cardinals are difficult to breed in captivity, and if they end up in the same pool as the oscars they will eat them all.
Cardinals are extremely difficult to breed yes. But this was neon tetras.
Cardinals are always more expensive because they are hard to breed an are almost always wild caught.
Neons are cheaper because they are bred in captivity.
But you are right about that they will be eaten, by both the oscars and the convicts
They will have a better chance of breeding since they will be living more naturally outside. Things that trigger fish to breed are usually certain weather conditions or available food, times of the year and all that. Being outside they will get natural light and dark, hot and cold, bugs and wildlife to eat, they will see predators also the caimen, oscars, birds.
All that kind of stuff will probably trigger more natural behavior. A lot of south american fish also, particularly tetras and small fish usually breed when they are trapped in small pools in the dry season when it's hotter, they are "trapped" into a smaller area and can't get back out into main river/streams with flow and steady temperatures and they may be caught in those small ponds with predators so they start to breed and the tiny babies manage to survive until the wet season where they are opened back up to other water sources, in Kenans ponds they will be in it will actually be similar to that where its small enough for the sun to heat it and cool it every day which to them may feel like the conditions that trigger them to breed.
What a wonderful way to start my morning. Coffee and Kamp Kenan.
Sound of waterfall. Amazing
I am so happy for you and the South American exhibit.
Im sure the fish will make it more exotic looking. Fred would b
Take.care and keep on doing it...

Interesting advice from someone who worked there for 16 years. Hopefully those tetras can hide well from the Oscars. Hopefully those Oscars can hide well from the caiman. BTW. Beginner fish keepers know that convicts lay eggs. They are very easy to breed, she should know that.
Oh, we had tetras in our tank when I was a kid....they were always my favorite! And Kenan, my childhood story is like yours: one of 7 kids, not a lot of disposable income, but Dad was a scientist, and so we always had science and nature on tv and in the house. That's why I love your channel so much....better than tv!
Way to go dad!!!!!!! U produced one hell of an outstanding role model for todays youth. U deserve a pat on the back
I've been here several times. Cute place.
Love the fish content with your builds on top of the reptiles..awesome place to view from across the pond
Hi Kenan’s mom and dad!
My first day of work experience at a poorly run wildlife park 15yo me was in the approx 5×8m enclosure with a full grown male saltwater crocodile. There was a mistake by the builders and they put the pump and temperature controls 180° off of the plan- which put them against the fence on the inside rather than against the fence on the outside.
This tale may may not sway Kate about allowing Sophia in with the Cayman once a teen...
Just remember Sophia you dont have to outrun the crocodilians- as long as you outrun Kennan!
Kenan you should get a pair of caiman lizards . Very cool and unique species. I think they would fit the camp perfectly.
Love the new fish... Caiman Creek is looking great!!
convicts cichlids are an awesome choice they are super hardy breed like rabbits just an all around awesome fish for the creek
It's so fun watching 2 of my most favorite youtubers together in a single post 🥹 i watch both your channels daily 😁😁. Make more contents together Kenan and Paul 👌
The Oscars are going to chow down on the cardinal tetras
I dont think the Tetra will last for long, they will be oscar’s food!
Such an awesome natural habitat great job!
Hello great video information Kenan
Keep up the great work Kenan!!
The fish you got are amazing, can’t wait to see them all settled & growing.
Been watching for a long time (unknown years), love the channel, have learned so much. Every video is something new.
Thank you for doing what you do, despite all the negative know it all Nancy’s in the comment.
🤘🏻👍🏻🤠✌🏼
I find there’s a lot less negativity in Kenan’s comment section than in certain other YT-bers who produce similar content. I think the viewers here are more mature as is Kenen himself; his content being much less ego/drama based and more genuine info driven. If I wanted comedy I’d watch “SniperWolf” ...lol
It’s fun watching a video with Sophia. She’s just a but older than my own daughters. My eldest also loves animals and enjoy watching those videos with me:
Hi Sophia!!!!!!! From Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️
Good Job Sophia , Love you guys ! Perfect day for you guys
Its so awesome that Sophia is really getting into all the animals and wanting to help with videos. It's an udiscibable feeling passing on your passion for animals to one of your kids especially when they soak it all in and enjoy it she will one day want to do what u do Kenan. Congrats
What a dad!! Soph gets to learn and practice in her own backyard, shout out to Mr Kenan for being such an amazing dude
If you're ever looking for another tetra species, Colombian tetras might be a nice choice. Silver-blue with red fins and just shimmer when the light hits.
I 2nd the idea of Columbian tetras. They are a little larger and more hardy then those neons and I think would have a better chance of survival and reproducing long term!
Love the videos man, keep up the great work! Love and Support from Trinidad 🇹🇹 🙏🏻
Awesome! Thank you!
Beautiful fish!
I love that Sophia makes the most of the opportunities provided! She is so lucky and so are you to have such a good helper! Love the fish!
You should have got a wolf cichlid it would been fun seeing it bully the caimen.
Sophia is awesome lol there are some awesome fish there! Paul is lucky to kick it with you guys lol he knows his fish too 🐠
Great camera work Sofia!! Loved the video.
Those neons are so gorgeous! They are one of my favorite fish, because of all the different color variations.
The New York Aquarium. I loved going there. I fell in love with the Beluga Whale that used to wave at you.
Cool to see the habitat coming together
"She's feeding everything, well everything besides the alligators. Her mother would kill me" that is a phrase most would chalk up to just a dad joke/ sarcasm. Unless it's coming from this guy, who's wife would actually kill him for letting soph feed the alligators they casually shelter and care for in their backyard. 🤣🤣🤣
Excited to see the fish progress over time! Especially the Oscars that'll be very fun!
Really like the colorful fish, the are gonna look amazing in there, it cool to see Sophia so interested in the kamp, she is so much a sponge and want to learn everything about the kamp, she has so much knowledge about the kamp already, one day I see her taking over the kamp, and have her own you tube channel
Man it would be awesome if you
Could come hang out with us at aquashella in Dallas Aug 6-7
So glad you got Oscar's but please get some more, also great work Sophia you're doing amazing xXx
What a Blast! Great choices! Wow Paul is a Big Buck now!!! The oscars should grow really fast beautiful!
Wonderful video 🙌🏽
Awesome place gorgeous Gal. Like seeing all the diversity of fish they carry
Kenan.i got convicts in with my razorback and common mudmusk.. they are great fish..but they have live births. Love from North Devon, England x
Gee, I've breed and raised convicts, but mine have eggs!! 🤔
@@robertforrest7956 umm mine have live births🤷♂️
Awesome pond! But in 6 months u might have no neon tetras left with the oscars in the pond
Awesome fish 🥳🥳
Very cool to see you give your parents a shout out!!
Great additions to Caiman Creek a great pop of colour and enrichment for the Caiman, Sophie's doing a great job and showing such tremendous responsibility towards feeding the animals and just generally helping out, and I also love when you and Paul team up.
Sophia will be a great caretaker of the Kamp when she is older! Love her love of all the animals, just like you,! The fish selections are perfect!
Great video like always 👌
The neons will be snacks for the oscars and the oscars will be snacks for the caiman. The oscars weren't a good choice.
Awesome vid as usually. The enclosure is really turning out so beautiful and it's so cute to see the crocs in the tube together.
Good girl Sophia that was a excellent camera work , keep it up and enjoy every moment 😊
Awesome video! KENAN getting more into fish is AWESOME!!
tetra are my fav fish, i absolutely love them though I'm just an amateur (and fairly newbie) fish keeper. Be interesting to see if you do get the neon tetra to breed and actually produce young in the pond.
Great to see Sophia getting more into it and doing a lot more of the care for the tortoises and turtles 😍 she is so lucky to live in that environment
neon tetra's are so pretty. we got a group here in our aquarium.
I could watch a school of neon tetras swim around for hours.
Those are some big-a Neons! I thought they were actually Cardinal Tetras at first. You might want to catch a Pleco/armored catfish or 2 locally to control the algae situation. As I’m sure you’re aware they’ve become one of the most invasive species in Florida. My bro also uses Water Hyacinth & Water Lettuce to control algae blooms, both can be collected locally. They also have some amazing day & night blooming S. American Waterlilies but the turtles might do what they did in the rec pond depending on their particular diet. Victoria waterlilies have protective spines on all parts of the plant and they may have developed a dwarf species. Also, Lotus (and dwarf Lotus) are marginal like the plants you already have. However in addition to providing lots of shade they also produce spectacular, large blooms (a huge fan of aquatic botanicals here!)
My son has had convicts and loved them!
i'd love to see Kenan get a big above ground pond one day, he's so pumped about fish i bet he'd make a next level display. maybe we a caimen lizard?
I love neon Tetras
You need to get some bristlenose plecos to take care on that algae. They will breed in there too!
Damn those Oscars are going to eat the Tetras
Hi Kenan
I'll be curious to what fish are doing well in the pond in a few months.
The Oscar’s & convicts will smash the tetras mate. The lady should have told you that
I think there's gonna be some fat happy oscars very soon. Hope it all works out.
These oscar will be caiman snack 😁😁
Great camera work, Sophia!
Lets go
this is insane. :D cant wait for more fish and more updates on the caimans :D
Nice
Oh you need a South American catfish species! If you like the schooling fish try one of the bigger species of corydora catfish. They are so cute, and very quick.
thats not fair!!!!!! all the fish!!!!!
Nice video! I would love to see one from angels fish, it is so long ago and he was really kind to you with all the cyclids
Really cool to see 2 of my favorite youtubers together and can't wait for a update video on the fish, they look super cool 😎
If you knew anything about fish keeping you wouldnt like Paul
i am sad because the video is over and i cant go watch other videos from ur channel because ive seen them all :DD
Here's a dovi
Cool, let's see some of the big fish
😳 🤔 😆
